Show me one country in the world, that has left its energy prices to the decision of one single person.
NONE.
Stop making noise. Which monopoly argumejt are you promoting here? NNPC spent $21 billion on dead refineries in ten years and none of them is refining . Instead it resorted to importing the same refined products, controlled the price to over N1000 before Dangote started refining. It also frustrated the products through the NMPDRA calling it toxic until lab tests were used to confirm it's level.
What happens when determination is stronger than limitations?
In this inspiring interview, we meet Titus Special Moses, a university graduate and the founder of Vivir Specialis, a growing footwear brand that creates beautiful shoes, slippers, and sandals. Despite the challenges she has faced, Titus refused to let circumstances define her future. Instead, she turned her passion and creativity into a thriving business.
In this video, she shares her journey, the struggles she overcame, how she started her shoe-making business while still in school, and the lessons that helped her keep moving forward when many people doubted her.
Her story is a powerful reminder that your greatest challenges do not have to stop you from achieving your dreams.
I am a consultant and I can help her raise money from BOI if she fulfils the condition for their loan.

zero8zero: You want Govt to sell three refineries at a scrap?. You no dey fear God.
What's their worth? Between choosing a dead but refurbishable car, a problematic one and a new one which will you choose?
Let's be realistic, we won't be in this dangerous mess if President Yaradua did not reverse the sales of these moribund refineries to Dangote, Otedola and a host of others.
zero8zero: It's in the report, the Govt will hand over to those who will run them on behalf of the Govt, not an outright sale. Even if Govt would sell them off, nobody will buy a decrepit refineries without being repaired.
People will still buy as it is easier to buy an existing one and refurbish than build a new one that takes ten years
ClearFlair: He is someone who is very familiar with North Central Nigeria
So it gives him the knowledge he needs for baseless propaganda. How about the Muslims who are continually being killed at Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Yobe, Borno which is hardest hit? Muslim worshipers are continually murdered and kidnapped in remote villages and hamlets in the state mentioned and recently Kwara state which is now the centre if their focus. So stop believing this crap. He grew up in Kaduna Town and his preaching is dine across the major cities of Kaduna Katsina and Kano.
festacman: This is a grand plot spearheaded by non indigenous Lagos Yoruba for them to dominate indigenous Lagos Yoruba in their own state.
The only one moment a true Lagos indigene was elected the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, it was swiftly revised and even some indigenous traditional rulers who supported the move were sanctioned and later forgiven when they kowtowed once again in total submission.
Why is Badagry treated like an orphan in Lagos State? When will a true Lagos Indigene: an Awori, an Egun, an indigenous Egba or Ijebu become Lagos State Governor instead of people from other states? Funso William, Musuliu Obanikoro, Jimi Agbaje, etc. were all frustrated. Why should non indigenous Yoruba have access to opportunities in both their true State of Origin and Lagos while Lagos Indigenes eat crumbs in their own state. So many questions.
God never sleeps.
This is where we the indigenes suffer. Ever since Tinubu became the governor, the indigenes have become third class citizens.
Boss thanks for these. You can't exhaust the list. Sir Roger Moore, Tony Curtis and Ian Ogilvy both starred at different times in Leslie Charteris' The Saint and Return of The Saint too.
BUA is almost completing the 200,000 BPD crude oil refinery at Akwa Ibom. The real problem of the sector is the NNPCL and the Regulators who are in favour of imports. If the government had invested in NNPC and expanded it, there will be no talk of monopoly. The question we should be asking ourselves is why are we still importing fuel when we have a local refiner that has excess stock? Why has NNPCL not expanded since inception? What has the government done with $20bn spent on NNPCL in ten years, same amount Dangote invested in his own refinery? Why is the NNPCL the sole importer of fuel under PMB?
They resort to cheap blackmail when punched to the corner. DAPPMAN, PENGASSAN, NUPENG are useless organisations who now serve the interest of any politicians or government in power. I don't recall any of these organisations going on strike demanding that the government makes NNPC and it's subswidiaries work for the sake of the masses of Nigeria. Let the government invite external auditors to go through their books to see what they have been doing with their members financial contributions.
Jashub: Where did you get your findings from ? Because the last time I check Benue and Nassarawa were leading in the highest number of HIV positive states in Nigeria
Abbeytoy: Last year I bought two rams for 300k each. I do not really like it, but I had to because of the overpriced goods during the Ileya festival.
But this year is very different. I remember my stepmother, who deals in selling goats, and I asked her if she could assist me in buying Ram this year, though my mom is against it, but I just don't know why my heart just picked her.
I ask her to send me a sample of RAM and the price. Unfortunately, she's in the north to buy her goods, so she sends different samples and prices, but because my mom is reluctant to let me deal with her, I send her 500k to buy me RAM, and I have it in mind to buy another one here if I am not comfortable with it.
Yesterday, she called me to say that she's around and I should come pick up my Rams. Lo and behold, this is what she bought for me at 500k.
They're even bigger than the one I bought for 300k last year. 3 Rams for 500k looks very unreal, but this is my reality.
I give one to my dad, my mom, and I pick one.
I am so happy at the moment and happy because I do not listen to women's sentiments of rivalry. 🤣😂🤣
Damn cheap. Each of these goes for N250k here in Kaduna.
sooperrescue: Lai lai. I tried recently to go to Abuja and ended at Owo and returned back to Lagos. The roads are not user friendly. The rains from heaven came down and the visibility was zero. My night vision in the sports came up and I was surprised 😮
One good thing about the north is that it has good and smooth roads.
sooperrescue: It depends on what is the issue. The earlier models was a 6 speed type for which you can transmit to 6 at 145miles per hour and the 8 speed type on the newer models, I tried it on Kano Zaria road and I quickly realised that I am still young and my next new wife is still in her father's house, so I respected my self 😀 😄 😉
Boss at the top. Well done chief. What should be my budget for land Rover discovery sir. I can't afford the Tokunbo but a good local used. But for maintenance I am ready at any amount. Any car from your recommendation is ok. My budget is N4m mac sir
